Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor share a vanity van

Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan found themselves in a tight spot when they were requested to share a vanity van at a recent award function. Both being gentlemen readily agreed despite the fact that Shahid's former girlfriend had left him for the Nawab in 2007 after four-years of dating.

"Shah Rukh Khan arrived early and got his own vanity but then the dancers needed a van of their own so Saif and Shahid were asked to share the third. And the production chaps were asked to make sure the two didn't bump into each other at any point of time," informed a source from the venue.

Added the source, "Saif who arrived without wife Kareena Kapoor seemed to be in a tearing hurry. He was on the red carpet for exactly 20 seconds after the paparazzi yelled out to him. He then headed for the van. Shahid who was also walking towards it with his stylist and make-up man, spotted Saif and immediately took an about-turn and hurried backstage. Fifteen minutes later, after he was told that Saif had vacated the van, he returned to it."

The Haider hero was the star of the night, taking home three awards but Saif didn't wait around to see him being honoured. He left as soon as his act was over.
